Why can't I hold progress on a knowledge check question that is answered incorrectly?

Correct / incorrect feedback restricting the user's progress until a correct answer is given would be a huge bonus for the users' experience when taking our courses. The storyline bandaid to produce this functionality is at least something, but it adds the cost of higher maintenance and pretty lame interactivity on a phone. Since we're focusing on mobile as the future of devices, this limitation essentially makes our courses less forward-compatible for operating systems in the future. Please get a dev on this feature as soon as possible, it should be a sprint or two at the most if I may be so bold.

I second all that is stated above. This seems like a very basic component of instructional design - not only to throw knowledge checks out there, but to ensure that learning has actually occurred by requiring a correct response before moving forward. Ideally, being able to review the content the user missed and then being required to answer the question correctly to ensure this learning has occurred is pretty basic and should be an option.

Also, I'm curious as to why a perfectly executed message containing nothing more than constructive feedback is "flagged" by the forums. Is constructive feedback not welcome to discuss with other users on these forums?

Agreed... this feature is really the lynchpin for wide adoption of Rise for us... and they would be smart to listen... because this is not some feature that would be a "nice have" for our specific development team... its a fundamental capability that is lacking in this product. 

Again these conclusions are driven by analytics and not by creative desire... the lack of this feature is severely impairing our ability to commit fully to a wide adoption of Rise for our nearly half-million seat training audience. If we are facing this issue, I can't imagine other organizations in our industry are not as well... we design our training products to meet the needs of our audience, and we listen closely.

Hmm my message is flagged and still no response from Articulate.

Leaving me with only hope that the next release of Rise will be less fluff (ie. endless regurgitations of jQuery carousels) and more buff (ie. more flexibility with core instructional design functionality)

Helloooooooooo... anybody out there? Knock, knock... its an experienced instructional designer at your door... are you interested in engaging in an honest discussion about how to make this product more useful? Next year we will be serving training to well over 500,000 seats and we collect data on user experience and user preferences... why are you not interested in hearing from a paying customer with this kind of info?

Hi there, Ian.  Thanks for the well written description of your experience with the knowledge check block and the continue button.

First, just a little housekeeping.  Welcome to E-Learning Heroes! 😃  We invite everyone in the community to respond to discussions.  Our team reads every post, from oldest to newest.  Sometimes when replies are added to a post, it gets bumped to "newer," and we might not respond right away.

Also, posts can be flagged by other users, or when they contain certain "spammy" elements, or when they're posted quickly in succession.  It looks like none of your posts are flagged currently, so hopefully you have visibility into what you've shared so far.

The continue button will work once a knowledge check has been answered, right or wrong.  I understand it might not feel meaningful for you since you'd like the correctness of the answer to be a factor in allowing users to move forward.

We happily track these sorts of requests, so I'll make sure our team is on the same page that users are looking for more evaluation options with knowledge checks.  We'll be sure to post updates here with any changes!

Thank you for your response... this is a matter that I take very seriously because we are considering a large scale adoption of this product... but are now shying away a bit.

Allowing the student to review the course materials while they face certain decision points (in the form of questions) should be a base functionality of Rise. It is fundamental to the development of our training. It should really not even be looked at as a feature, but a requirement for any piece of authoring software intended to support an informed instructional design strategy.

I've been doing this for almost 20 years, and its unfathomable that I can't implement a simple restricted decision-point / review pattern with this framework. It seems like an incredible amount of investment has been made in other elements that are peripheral to core strategies of instructional design... its as if you built a mansion but forgot to install a front door.

I would also like this feature to be implemented. 

My other issues is that I want a user to be provided with the incorrect/correct feedback depending on their choice, however, if they answer incorrectly I do not want the tick and cross boxes to appear (giving away the answer)....

Thanks for chiming in Stephanie. Looks like Alyssa helped you out with your second request here :)

Good morning all,

I am also looking to use this function, has there been any movement on this feature request? Alternatively, has anyone found a work around?

Hello, Matt! Currently, a knowledge check block just needs to be answered to be considered complete. Once answered, the block will reveal the correct answer and any feedback that you've included as the author.

If you need to restrict navigation through the lesson based on answering a question or two, try a Storyline block! You can create the question interactions in Storyline 360 and set a completion trigger based on answering the question correctly. A continue button beneath the Storyline block will restrict progress until the Storyline interaction is complete. Here's more detail on ways to set that up.

Alternatively, you can include a quiz lesson to more formally check for understanding, and restrict navigation pending success in the quiz.

Afternoon Crystal,

Thank you for the speedy response. 

I have previously used SL blocks in Rise but it’s not my ideal solution as the stark black colour, particularly on mobile, takes away from the stylish design and flow of Rise. 

I am utilising a marked quiz at the end of my module but was looking to integrate questions throughout earlier lessons and this is where I would have liked the functionality. 

I’ll have a chat with my SMEs and see where they want to take it

Thank you again for the input and hope to see this feature added in future updates 

Hi Matt
I embed storyline blocks to workaround this issue. You can also create the functionality so that the block executes immediately, rather than a black box sitting on screen. Ive used SL blocks for multiple work-arounds in Rise (such as adding videos with closed captions, etc).

Thanks Stephanie,

I will revisit the SL workaround then, thanks for the input!

Hi there, I would just like to add my request for this feature in Rise.  I can do the workaround in SL but it would be SO much faster to just insert a Rise knowledge check and add a progress restriction.  Especially if the material is such that there are constantly knowledge-checks spread throughout the course.

That would make so much sense.

Thank you, Suzanne. I'll add your notes to our report for this feature request!

Please add this feature request.

Im absolutely dumbfounded how this hasn't been fixed. It a simple line of code to give designers what they need. They must not on purpose be implementing it to cannibalise their 360 product.

Any update to this please, been a good 3 years or so. I would look into using Storyline as a workaround but it defeats the point of using Rise at all here.

Thanks for your interest in this feature. No news yet, but we'll make sure to update this thread if we make changes that will help!

Any update on this feature? Seems like a simple request. User cannot progress until the choose the correct response.

2023, five years after this post was made... and nothing.
